Funny, but I don't think Jim Calhoun made a single mistake during the game yesterday...

This is part of the arrogance I referred to as well. It is NOT our job to evaluate what a coach does or does not. We are guardians of the game and despite everything, we MUST know the rules of the game...or not officiate the game! |

Certainly Not A Connecticuter ...

Jim Calhoun hasn't been coaching the University of Connecticut mens team since September, 2012. Due to academic issues, like the players not going to classes, and players leaving school early for the NBA while in poor academic standing, the UCONN men are not eligible for the NCAA tournament. They may have one appeal left, but I'm 99% sure that they will not be eligible for the Big East (or whatever is left of the Big East) tournament at the end of this season.

In probably one fourth of my overtime games I have to redirect the jumpers and restate the which basket is whose. Frankly, I put this as no bigger a deal than shooting fts on a TC foul (MN/MSU). Sure, it's a mistake, but not really a huge deal.
And anyone who claims it cost (or could have cost) a team the game when it's the first play of OT is (at most) still more fan than official.

I'm not yet convinced you're a fanboy or a troll. Or at least, you have good intentions... But isn't it a fact that free speech only applies to non-private forums? Also, why in your first post do you feel the need to assert this?

2. You're not getting the reaction that you want because despite to the fact that you infer that you might referee some level of basketball somewhere in the world and claim to be a long time reader of this forum, you're posting as a fanboy with your fanboy hat and your UCONN gear on. Your post reeks of fanboy-dom as others have pointed out and you're being treated like any other fanboy that starts posting this time of year. 3. This is not a place to come and cry about the officiating of any particular game. This is a place for objective rules discussion and there is currently another very good thread on the topic. This thread is your attempt to stir up a mob mentality lynching and you're (not surprisingly) getting anybody riled up. Go post on a fanboy site. 4. If you're writing a letter, I hope you're sending it to the Big East commissioner, not John Adams. As has been pointed out he has absolutely zero control over who works regular season games and has no ability to deal out the punishment to officials who do screw up (which is what you seem to so desperately seek). TL;DR - go post on a fanboy site if you want a sympathetic ear. |

The reason you need to post under an alias is that you and everyone else on this board have no right to question or challenge the competence of the 3 officials on last night's game. Yes, they made an indefensible mistake, but hopefully, we can all learn from this and apply to our games in the future. Calling for a fellow officials punishment (and thinking you are right in writing to John Adams and conference coordinators) is an act of insanity. If you don't believe me, feel free to email it to John Adams. He usually responds to all emails he receives.

Not a Fanboy
LOL...I did email adams and hyland and clougherty and shaw (FYI): jwasports1, user2117, etc.
I am not a fanboy, and it matters not the reaction you all send my way. Each of you are anonymous as well, so what difference does it matter...just as you pay no attention to my post. But yes, I opted to post today because I am sick and tired of BIG TIME officials f%%4ing stuff up and continue to get games with no penalty at all...living off reputation versus ability. Their arrogance is demonstrated on the floor by their mannerisms. Again, you all focus on me...but I did not misapply the rule, because I KNOW the rule. So continue to throw darts at me for voicing my opinion...but I have yet to hear ONE person defend their actions and provide a reasonable excuse. Guess what, there is NOT an excuse! Yeah...they will be on TV again this weekend and work the NCAA tourney, but do not know the freakin rules! I guess it is WHO you know and not WHAT you know... |
